For the first half of the voting, this looked like it was going to miss the Top 100 completely. Note the higher number of voters (15)... the highest vote that this received was #13.

Another one that stayed outside the 100 for ages before rallying in the second half. If there's any pattern, then I'd say that Pop Kids voted first, Boomers in the middle, then another clutch of Pop Kids towards the end.

As the 1991 double A-side with "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" only polled one vote, I decided to combine the two, meaning that there was a total pool of 996 singles. (My Sweet Lord, Jailhouse Rock and One Night also made #1 twice apiece.)
